Best Weird Food That Actually Tastes Good

In our experience, food that's made to look like art doesn't often taste very
pretty when you put it in your mouth. But Wylie Dufresne has been dabbling with
different palettes of color and taste in his gleaming downtown food laboratory
for two years now. Finally, after much effort and experimentation, the results
are beginning to show. Who knew, for instance, that the deep, lustrous red color
of fresh venison complements the soft, creamy green of edamame-flavored ice
cream? Who knew you could fry mayonnaise in little sugar-cube squares and plate
them with a strip of vanilla-colored calf's tongue, and long, Miró-like streaks
of tomato molasses? More to the point, who knew inspired, even beautiful dishes
like this could taste so good?
